Letters of Hope

Vara was nominated as a HOPE BUILDER by a 6th grade student in Religious class at the Carondelet Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN. In his words, “Vara is a Hope Builder because Vara helps people not be so afraid”.

Following her nomination, Vara met with the class. On the day she spoke to the students, they were studying the lives and traditions of Trappist Monks. One of their assignments for the day was participating in a ‘Monastic Day of Silence’. With a raised hand, they could ask questions; otherwise they were required to sit still–in silence. Not an easy task for any one, especially 6th graders.

The selected students’ ‘Letters of Hope’ are from the collection of essays written from the class assignment: a personal reflection of their thoughts on HOPE, following Vara’s presentation.
